Thanks for the seed bro. I was there with Dyke & some other ones, and I'm too cheap to replace the Dick's Pick I lost. Something crawled into my belly during the space, and I don't know if IT ever got out. I also have a visual(still wishing I could forget) of some hairy dude in a tapestry skirt twirling it way too high... Oh ya, great mud slide!

Dude, take your meds...your review sounds like some sort of deranged haiku.

Subject: Jerry Goes Crazy on Let It Grow
Jerry just lets it all hang out on Let It Grow. All the joy, all the angst. Utterly. So. Clearly. THE defining moment of this galactic communication.

This sound is my sound. This guitar would I wish to present to the incorporating universe big or small as it is.

Here exists, my fellow travelers, a truly well-captured exhibition of this band in all its glory. This here is thusly captured all utterly remarkable within audience recording parametrix.

And should a listener conclude that Jerry just peters out, oh no, he just keeps glistering on, note after/upon re-shaping the entire cosmos in one fell swoop.

Brighten up your path.

Subject: What can I say?
So, as I write this there IS a more recent AUD than this, and it's maybe a tad more bright with Garcia way out front, but here's why I prefer this one: it's the complete show WITH the first set, it actually has bass (Lesh is inaudible on the most recent), and it also has a lot more depth. The jams are spectacular, and the first set list is stunning. There's a part in the China/Rider transition very reminiscent of the way they used to do it '73 & '74, but looser and twistier. Anyway, very awesome.

Plus an On the Road Again, Althea, Dew... so I understand why so many 5 star ratings- the show rocks, it's been released commercially so this is the only opportunity to listen to it free, and I'm thankful too...

But it's not a 5 star recording. There are problems with the low end. There are times when Phil's bass notes can be heard clearly, but most of the time it's muddy and loud. The bass is so loud at the beginning of set 2 that it turns into distortion.

Even on my laptop speakers, this sounds beautiful. Best Let it Grow EVER!

Subject: how exciting to find this one
This was one of my first tapes! A buddy of mine in high school had a brother at Swarthmore who was pretty well plugged into (a) tape trading circuit of the mid-80's ... anyway, I remember this one well. Really sweet to find it here again ... I last listened to it 20+ years ago before giving it away to who-knows-who. Like running into an old friend, isn't it? And the music ... goes without saying, it's really good.

Subject: How lucky!
How lucky for this to be your first show! A unique show and a smoker also. I see there are a lot of sbd seeds of this show, with this the only aud (as Mr. Suraci notes. I don't know if you need the sbd, as good as this aud sounds. The sound is right down front, and awesome. Whoever ran this rig knew what they were doing. Is it a Walker? Suraci mentions Nak700s, but I don't know, the crispness reminds me of the Sony ECM250. Perhaps Phil could be a bit louder, but there is still pretty good capture of Phil, with Jerry very loud and everybody else well-captured. This show and this seed just smokes.

Subject: My First Dead Show
Wow do I ever love what the internet has given us deadheads! This was my first dead show. How I managed to convince my mum to let me go to East Troy,WI to see the dead (twice!) is beyond me. The parking lot was basically a carnival/party zone for 2 1/2 days. I remember a bunch of us crossing the golf course behind the amphitheatre and crashing the resort, swimmin around in the pool & everything. I wasn't even 17 years old yet. Now for the shows... great stuff!! I barely knew any of the songs, but that didn't keep me from having an absolute blast. Being a drummer, i really got off on the rhythm devils!!! (especially on night two when Hamza El Din sat in for drums. So many great memories of meeting very cool and accomadating people. Being from Canada, we all figured Americans were a bunch of assholes who love violence & couldn't find Canada on a map. So it was a good education for my young mind to meet such great people in such a good scene! I spent a lot of 83 & 84 whippin around down the east coast checking out great shows & hanging with my new american brothers & sisters , and eventually convinced my Mum to come along to a show with me ( Kingswood '87).... SHE LOVED IT!!!!

Subject: What an Amazing Dew
Gotta listen to this version of Morning Dew!!

Utterly amazing.

Got goosebumps.

Notes

These tapes were given to me in October 1982, while living in Boulder,
Co. I was told they were a first gen copy off the masters.
Since there are no other audience sources available, I decided to seed this version.

Special thanks to Jake Feinberg. Jake is solely responsible for getting me
to seed this show.
